Insurance for Bathroom Designers

Bathroom design insurance is for businesses advising on bathroom layouts, product choices, measurements, drawings, specifications, project planning and renovation schemes. It can suit design-only consultants, showroom designers, bathroom planning firms and contractors who combine design advice with installation coordination.

The right policy should make clear whether you only provide design advice, sell products, supervise installers, subcontract fitting work or carry out plumbing, tiling, electrical coordination or project management. Those details can affect professional indemnity, public liability, products liability and contract works needs.

Insurer Questions

  • Do you provide design only, or also supply products and manage installation?
  • Do you undertake plumbing, tiling, electrical coordination or project management?
  • What are typical and largest project values?
  • Do you use subcontractors, and how are they checked?
  • Do contracts require PI, public liability, product liability or contract works cover?

Professional Indemnity for Design Advice

Professional indemnity can help where a client alleges your layout, measurement, specification, product recommendation or project advice caused financial loss. This is especially relevant where designs affect plumbing routes, ventilation, electrical coordination, accessibility or product suitability.

Installation and Contractor Exposure

If the business also fits bathrooms, supervises installers or manages trades, public liability, employers' liability, tools and contract works should be reviewed. Installation activity can create water damage, accidental damage, injury and subcontractor-control questions.
